Chapter 38: Dragon Roars and Tiger Howls, the Nine-Part Music of the Ming Dynasty
There were five people sitting in the lobby of the cottage, divided into two groups.
Three large tiger-skin chairs were placed closely together in the shape of a “mountain” and on them sat three men whose bodies were as big as small mountains and whose auras were as fierce as wild beasts.
These three are none other than the three brothers Dugu Ying, the eldest brother, Dugu Xiong, the second brother, and Dugu Han, the third brother.
"His physique seems to have become much stronger." When Jiajing saw Dugu Ying, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
It became clear after a little thought. It might be because of the benefits gained from this pioneering war, or it might be related to his practice.
Dugu Ying was eight and a half feet tall, with a sturdy build, a face like a full moon, eyes like torches, and an extremely thick beard.
With his long hair tied behind his head and muscles all over his body, he looks as solid as a sculpture, with a great visual impact.
The second in command on the left, Dugu Xiong, is eight feet tall, but his body appears well-proportioned and strong, with sharp eyes like an eagle overlooking the earth, strong and powerful arms, and a lower body as stable as a mountain.
There hasn't been much change since the last time I saw it.
The third brother, Dugu Han, seemed to have been seriously injured. He was seven feet tall, dark-skinned, rugged, with a shaggy beard and eyes as big as copper bells, flashing with a wild light.
There was a scar running from left to right on his cheekbone, as if it was going to split his head in two.
His face was already full of flesh, and now he looked even more domineering.
At this time, when the three heads saw Jiajing, they immediately smiled, stood up with a smile, and looked respectful.
The two normal-sized people sitting below were seen last time. The one on the left was Song Xinchai, the village steward and the designated second elder.
He is in his fifties, has an honest face, is thin, taciturn and not good at speaking.
The fifth level of Qi training, the middle stage of Qi training.
On the right is Liu Yuan, who was imprisoned in the same cell with Jiajing. Everyone is used to calling him Old Liu. He is the third elder and is at the sixth level of Qi training, which means he is in the middle stage of Qi training.
Liu Yuan looks similar to Song Xinchai, also in his fifties, and is also a taciturn person. However, thanks to his skills in making shuttles, he has seen a lot of the world.
Every move he made was very steady.
Different from Song Xinchai who is taciturn and not good at speaking, this is a reserved person who likes to watch more, talk less, and do more.
"In just half a month, sir, you have broken through from a mortal to the second level of Qi training. This speed is truly amazing!"
When Dugu Ying opened his mouth in a muffled voice, he gave people a sense of oppression from his body. A fierce aura came towards them, and it was vaguely like the roar of a wild beast, with blood boiling.
He was a great cultivator in the Jindan stage, so he naturally saw through Jiajing's level of cultivation at a glance.
The others looked at Jiajing with surprise in their eyes.
It’s not that the second level of Qi training is so high, but they have all seen Jiajing before, a mortal.
There was still a lot of toxins in his body, but apart from his extraordinary demeanor that made it impossible to ignore him, there was nothing special about him.
But now, after only half a month, he broke through to the second level of Qi training, which had to surprise them.
This shows that Jiajing's destiny was very extraordinary!
"Congratulations, sir." Although they were surprised, everyone reacted quickly and congratulated Jiajing at the first opportunity.
After some polite greetings, Liu Quan sat next to the second elder Song Xinchai on the left, and Jiajing sat next to the third elder Liu Yuan.
At this point, all the current top leaders of Black Wind Village have arrived.
"Everyone is here. Have you, Big Liu, told the gentleman about the request for the certificate?" Dugu Ying looked at Liu Quan and said in a muffled voice.
"I have already explained this to you, sir, when I came here." Liu Quan said as he drank a sip of the spiritual tea and spat on the tea leaves.
"Sir, do you have any better ideas?" Dugu Ying looked at Jiajing with some hope.
Everyone also looked at Jiajing.
After all, the three words "Xiao Xuan Pai" as the name of a sect are indeed a bit embarrassing and not presentable.
Dugu Ying is a great monk in the Jindan stage, and the sect he founded should be at least a medium-sized sect, which is too low-profile.
Liu Yuan also looked at Jiajing.
It was he who gave the name Xiaoxuan School.
Although he had seen a lot of the world, naming was not his strong point. He had also read the clan governance philosophy mentioned by Jiajing before, which was sorted out by Liu Quan, and he admired it very much.
"I did have some ideas when I came here," Jiajing pondered for a moment, and did not speak directly, but looked at the largest, beast-like Dugu Ying, "May I ask what the master's innate attribute is?"
In the world of immortal cultivation, directly asking someone what their true destiny is is considered very rude and may even be seen as a sign of hostility.
If one could guess the natality through the natal objects, it would be fine. But if it was a more secretive one, that would be embarrassing. But if one was asked about the natal attributes, there would be no big concerns, after all, these could be seen from the performance of the exercises.
"I have the attribute of fire." Dugu Ying looked at Jiajing's calm appearance and felt inexplicably confident. As he spoke, he raised his hand and a burst of flames rose up.
"Ah!" Faintly, there seemed to be the roar of a wild beast.
Is his destiny a beast? Everyone had some guesses in their minds, but no one dwelled on this point, after all, they had all heard the beast's roar.
"Fire attribute," Jiajing pondered for a moment, then said, "Fire is flame... Flame essence brings good luck, and a holy master is born..."
At this point, he raised his eyelids slightly, looked around at everyone, and said in a faint voice, "How about calling Daming?"
"The Immortal Sect said: Great Ming!"
As soon as the word "Da Ming" came out, there seemed to be a low roar of dragons and tigers in the not-so-large lobby.
"Daming?" Dugu Ying's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward and said, "Well, what the gentleman just said about the flame spirit bringing good fortune and the holy master, I felt very touched when I heard it."
"But what's the explanation?"
The others chewed over this sentence and nodded secretly.
Liu Yuan, who had seen the world, stroked his beard and thought to himself, "This beginning has the charm of the opening of a piece of music from a great immortal sect..."
"The flame spirit brings luck and gives birth to a holy master," Jiajing looked at Dugu Ying, "The eldest master's birth element is fire, and fire is flame. You are the master of the Immortal Sect. The Immortal Sect was founded in your hands, so you should be the holy master."
"The flames shine brightly across the world, illuminating all directions!"
"The greatness of the Ming Dynasty is unparalleled throughout the ages; the brightness of the Ming Dynasty is indestructible throughout the ages!"
"The light of the Great Light shines upon countless worlds, and even the darkest places are always filled with the Great Light."
"In the heavens, gods, humans, ghosts, and all creatures, including reptiles, scales, feathers, and insects, all are delighted when they see me, the Great Ming."
"This is the essence of the name Daming," Jiajing paused for a moment and said, "This is in line with the requirement that the name of the academy should be meaningful and proper."
"it is good!"
After these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but feel their blood boiling and their hearts were excited.
Compared with the famous Ming Dynasty, the Xiaoxuan School is like a firefly compared to the bright moon, with no characteristics at all.
Liu Quan was also very excited. His intuition was right. Mr. Zhu did have a way and did not let him down.
"Okay, it's settled. Our sect will be called Daming, the Daming Immortal Sect!" Dugu Ying stood up with his mountain-like figure and waved his arms.
Dugu Xiong and Dugu Han also nodded in agreement. What the gentleman said really touched their hearts, especially the sentence "The Ming Dynasty illuminates countless worlds", which made their blood boil.
They also hope that their own sect will have such weight in the future, and can benefit countless worlds, illuminate the underworld, and make the five immortals and five insects in the heavens feel happy when they see the Great Light.
What kind of scenery would such a sect have?
I'm afraid that even the White Horse Academy, which controls the boundless territory, cannot compare to this super-powerful immortal cultivation force of this size, right?
I'm afraid that looking at the twenty-eight constellations in the Eastern Azure Dragon star region, they are all top-notch super immortal gates, right?
For a moment, everyone was inspired by Jiajing's words and had endless imagination and expectations about the future!
"Sir, can you compile a piece of music to match the Ming Dynasty?" At this time, Liu Quan asked the most crucial point.
"Of course," Jiajing looked calm and at ease. He looked at Liu Quan and said, "But before that, we have to determine whether it is feasible to use the word 'Da Ming' as the sect name."
The Nine Musical Instruments of the Ming Dynasty can be used with slight modifications. This music is not difficult at all for me.
"Big Liu!" Dugu Ying, who was sitting at the top, gave Liu Quan a wink.
After getting Dugu Ying's signal, Liu Quan smiled complacently, raised his hand and took out a square jade book as big as a human face.
"This is the registered sect list sold by the academy. One copy costs ten taels of spiritual energy. It is convenient for newly established sects to check their names."
"As long as you input the name of the sect, the Jade Book will automatically detect it..." While he was speaking, he had already input the name, and saw densely packed words appearing on the Jade Book.
The stream of light flickered, and under the tense expectation of the crowd, after a while, the words on the jade book in the air disappeared and turned into two large characters:
"Available!"
"..."
